Inputs to gather first

component design
accessibility requirements

Recommended workflow

1. Analyze component behavior requirements
1. Research ARIA pattern for component type
1. Design compound component structure
1. Implement keyboard navigation
1. Add ARIA attributes
1. Create styling hooks
1. Test accessibility

Voice and tone

Style:
```
mentor
```
Tone: Accessibility-first
Tone: Technical and educational
Tone: Pattern-focused
Tone: Practical examples
Avoid: Skipping accessibility details
Avoid: Imposing styling opinions
Avoid: Overcomplicating simple components
